Texas Street now open after 2 year, $6 million project

MOBILE, Ala. ( WKRG ) — Texas Street is now reopened after more than two years of construction, according to a press release.

According to previous reporting , Texas Street was originally closed to start a project — spanning from Ann Street to Broad Street — that helped to add several new features including streets, curbs, gutters, water, stormwater, and gas components.

The city of Mobile hosted a ribbon-cutting event Tuesday, April 16 where Mayor Sandy Stimpson, City Councilman William Carroll, and other officials and project managers recognized the completion of the project.

Officials with the city say the $6 million construction project represented “a significant infrastructure upgrade supported by a partnership with the City of Mobile, the Mobile City Council, the Mobile County Commission, and the Mobile Area Water and Sewer System (MAWSS).”

“These enhancements have significantly improved roadway conditions for neighbors and motorists and will also help improve drainage through the stormwater system,” stated the release.
